After receiving planning approval from the Queensland Government, FFI’s first GEM Center in Gladstone, Queensland, has garnered great endorsement. Hundreds of jobs will be created across regional Queensland as a result of the project, which will see the creation of a world-class electrolyser, renewable industry, and equipment manufacturing in Gladstone. FFI Chairman, Dr Andrew Forrest AO, said, “Gladstone is going to be at the centre of Queensland’s green energy revolution with the first electrolysers scheduled to enter production in 2023. “This project will not only be a gamechanger for green manufacturing in regional Queensland, it will also provide a major…

The huge high-pressure piston compressor solutions are intended exclusively for hydrogen trailer filling and high-mass-flow fuel stations. They are designed for mass flows greater than 150 kg/h, which helps reduce the number of compressors required per hydrogen trailer filling station or fuel station. Burckhardt Compression’s in-house testing facilities in Switzerland was used to develop and successfully test the high-pressure hydrogen compressor. The crucial components, oil-free high-pressure piston sealing and packings, have demonstrated their mechanical and sealing capability at a discharge pressure of 550 bar during these tests. The optimum configuration has been chosen, and durability testing to demonstrate comparable wear…
